> Is there a tracking method we could use to find the drone congregation areas.

Besides hearing the noise some have told of how they throw a stone up in an area which they think may be a drone congregation area and the drones will often chase the rock.

Another is to put up a  helium balloon with some queen pheromone on it and the drones will come to that.
